communities where fires seem to be still ones that we want to prevent from happening that will have a comp tent response making sure that all of the residents and building owners have a higher level of safety for these very valuable historic buildings and buildings that are housing a lot of affordability at this time. those are the sro's and the low income apartment buildings that still exist in the mission district. this budget will also reflect the moving forward and muni forward-forward muni program we have that increase the service ublth by at least 10 percent. muni seems to enjoy a better relationship with the riding public these days and want to continue that investment, make sure that we continue to have free muni for elderly and for people with disabilities along

with youth up to the age of 18. again, to also make sure that we instrest in the routes that make muni more efficient, gives people moving to the places of work or to their education or branch libraries in a more efficient way. this is just the may 1 budget with these 12 departments. the other departments that are general funds related will be part of our june 1 budget and we are working hard on that and we are making sure that we could step up with the $246 million challenge we have. it is a deficit we have for the next 2 years and we'll bridge that without decreasing services in the general fund departments and we are working hard on that and will be ready to have a balanced budget by june 1

and beginning discussions with members of the board of supervisor so they know what we doing in a transparent way. we are holding community meetings and neighborhood meetings and meetings with the supervisors to get their input to see what the next budget will reflect. the budget is reflection of sth cities values and will continue reflecting that. we have been able tobalance our budget. my tum as mayor for the last 5 year jz continue doing so i fill unthe gaps and making sure the cuts that may come from the state or federal government we want to reflect in the budget are taken care of, but other things whether they are homeless shelters improvement or navigation centers or affordable housing or challenges of affordability in general, i think the branch libraries is a huchblg contribution to

the affordable because they are all free and safe and have the modern technology in them but also the books that we increase and the link to our public education system. they are linked to our neighborhoods they are strong. they are linked to even small businesses who may want to come in and take a respite from the small business and get on the internet and maybe open up a business they want it through the business portal, all that can hpen inl the branch libraries. with that, i want to say we are happy to initiate the may 1 budget of the 12 departments i & we are working hard to make sure the rest of the departments get the treatment deserve and will have announcements in the coming week. we are work wg the board sw neighborhood groups and can do this because we vastrong economy and we can do this because we are transforming our

actually transporting the type of revenues we do so from evonets like the superbowls and the neighborhoods that need them and continue building strong neighborhoods. with that, i can take a few questions if you have them, the budget or anything else and then we'll go on. >> [inaudible] >> well, it is a old old library just like this was and the physical changes we identified in some of the paperwork we are passing out. they will have-they are kind of behine the walls. they want more technology in the branch libraries and part of that will be upgrading the wiring system that is very old. we don't have room to expand so we actually have to comp sate for

that limited space and make sure that all the spaces used and upgraded with wiring and new technology. we also will increase those hours in the library-like i said in all the branch libraries including chinatown that will have the library hours expanded as well. when i go out there it was very crowded and everyone uses them throughout the weekend so expanded the hours is also part the deal. well, certainly muni has ever reason to do with transportation so one the programs that we supporting is called muni forward and that means increasing the services of muni by at least 10 percent . all the services include additional routes and includes improved

routes and includes making sure muni moves deliberately on those routes in a safe way so it is very hard to get all the specifics but we can do so because it is part of the muni forward plan they approved. at the same time, they have some 30 vision zero projects. projects that will make the streets safer and engineered and designed to be safer. slow down traffic where the projects have pruben traffic going too fast and people are not taking the turns in a safe way to cause safety challenges for pedestrians for seniors, all that is in the 30 additional projects we want to complete and want to do so i cost some 70 million dollars that is incraseed in the muni projeblths. and keeping muni free for seniors and people

with disabilities and youth, that is all part of the budget as well. thank you. you get your room back kids! >> good morning, everyone my name is supervisor president london breed of the board of supervisors and to my left is the button chair supervisor farrell and joined by supervisor wiener and supervisor tang
